Ingredients

  • 4 pieces thin beef or chicken cutlets
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 4 cutlets with salt and pepper. Beat the 1 egg in a shallow dish and place the 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate.

  2. 2

    Dip each cutlet into the egg, then press into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides evenly.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the cutlets until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp butter and the 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Sauté until browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Spoon the mushrooms over the cutlets and serve hot.
